Kansas Property Tax

What can I do if I do not believe the value or classification of my property is correct? 

There are two ways to challenge the value of your home;

You may appeal the “notice of value” of your home by contacting the county appraiser’s office by phone or in writing within 30 days of the mailing date of the notice or,

You may fill a “payment under protest” form with the county treasurer at the time you pay your taxes.  If an escrow or tax service agent pays your property taxes, then protest no later than January 31st.

You CANNOT appeal using both methods for the same property in the same tax year.  So, if you start to appeal your “notice of value”, be sure to follow through with the appeal.  You will not be allowed to “pay under protest” later.

If you are not satisfied with the results of your appeal at the county level, you may take your case to either the Small Claims Division or the Regular Division of The Board of Tax Appeals.  For more information on appeals, please contact you local county appraiser’s office.
